The World Wisdom Bible: A New Testament for a Global Spirituality

Religion is based on belief and acceptance. Rami Shapiro has gathered excerpts of ancient writings for us to ponder; not to push an agenda. I applaud his talent. He has an ability to clearly present a variety of beliefs that are thousands of years old. This variety has some common elements that he enables us to see for ourselves. Try to accept his wisdom; there is too much rejection in the world today.

I have been a student of spirituality for many years and have read many of the great original texts (in English of course). But this book pulled out key sections that I had missed. Context is everything and the commonalities of the great traditions is made poignantly clear and meaningful. A modern day roadmap for the spiritual traveler. The best of the best. As they themselves are aiming for: the Gideon Bible for a new age of seekers.

I have traveled the world as an airline pilot for thirty years and am so excited to have found this inspiring bible. We need to accept all major religions as guides for learning spiritual values, compassion and love for all creation. I will be purchasing several bibles for relatives and friends. I have almost finished the book and will find it a very close companion in my journey for a richer more meaningful life.

This book contains much beautiful wisdom from a wide variety of religious/spiritual traditions as well as from literature (which, of course, can be just as spiritual and inspiring). It is well-organized, and the section introductions and appendices are very helpful. Highly recommended, and if you like this book, also check out Perennial Wisdom for the Spiritually Independent, also edited by Rabbi Shapiro.

I’ve been looking for a devotional that draws from all the worlds wisdom traditions for a very long time. I was thrilled to find this book. If you are dedicated to one religious path - then this book may not be for you. This bible is for those who expand and include all the ways God can be expressed and conceived. Thank you Rabbi Rami

I've become familiar with the wisdom of Rabbi Shapiro from a spirituality-oriented magazine. I'm glad I purchased this book. It's extremely well put together with a great deal of potential insight for all truth seekers. There's no emphasis on any particular religion... just a presentation of the 'wisdom' underlying all the major thought systems on man's origin and meaning. Well worth the cost!

This is a wonderful resource for looking at spiritual concepts across world religions. I have used it for two Sundays and we have had deep conversations based on it.

The World Wisdom Bible is the base for a new and everlasting spirituality, promoting a close relationship of man and woman with their inner wisdom and the Ultimate Reality. Thank you for compiling and sharing this perennial wisdom.

This book was exactly what I was looking for and difficult to access so delighted to find it on Amazon. Good price and arrived promptly!
